1931 Adams-McKain Family Reunion

Updated: 14 April 2012

(Transcribed from Book #1 by James. R. Adams). (NOTE: the minutes of 1930, 1931, and 1932 were mixed together and the reader may be confused about whether there was a 1931 reunion. The 1930 reunion is listed as the twelfth reunion, the 1931 reunion was not numbered and the 1932 reunion was listed at the thirteenth reunion. I tried to be faithful to the handwritten notes. Please let me know if you see an error.)
